Social Events!

I had a blood test this morning at 8:40 at the GP’s by the Practice Nurse, A fasting one so there was no snacking after tea last night and no breakfast this morning so was a bit shaky!

No issue getting blood from my arm. Cholesterol and blood sugar to be tested and BP taken which was v good . Hopefully all ok. We met a guy while out walking on Saturday evening up Buckie Braes and he had a stroke and heart attack due to high cholesterol. He called it his second life as his family were told he had a 50 50 chance of living or dying. We thought he was Spanish as he sounded it but he was left with this accent after surviving the stroke and HA. He struggled with some words but as he said he is thankful to be here. I asked him if he was overweight before and he said he is now two stones lighter than when he had his stroke and HA. He was about my height and is now 10.7 stones. It was an interesting chat.

So I hope mine is ok. I was also was told by a friend that there is a link between high cholesterol and increased risk of dementia! Stay healthy folks! https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/managing-the-risk-of-dementia/possible-risks-of-dementia/cholesterol!

I met my friend from the camera club Vicky at 10:30 in Nero and we had a good chat.

After that it was round the corner to the lovely Rose House for their excellent soup and bread and met three other ladies from my Club.

A very sociable day.

It was Baltic today walked half way home then a bus was arriving as I walked by the bus stop so jumped on.

More cleaning and now settled for the night.
